Yorkshire CPD

There are no further CPD activities planned as part of the Strategic Commissioning Programme in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Family Learning supported through Strategic Commissioning

MLA and NIACE have produced 'Family learning and museums, libraries and archives and the cultural sector' now available to download:

http://shop.niace.org.uk/family-learning-and-mla.html.

The publication aims to set the context for the strategic development of family learning programmes with museums, libraries, archives and the wider cultural sector. It details a variety of government priorities where family learning can play an important role in delivering results for the families involved and their communities. Developments are placed in the context of localism and strategic commissioning.

The 'Commissioning for Changing Times' online training pack and Snapshot Guide developed with Campaign for Learning can be downloaded here:

Information about past events is available on the CPD website pages.

Responsibilities transfer

From 1st October 2011, this site will not be updated, so please treat it as the static archive it is. This is because <a target="_Blank" href="http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/">Arts Council England</a> has now taken over museums and libraries responsibilities. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">The National Archives</a> has assumed responsibility for strategic leadership of the Archives sector. Arts Council responsibilities will also now include the Renaissance programme, Museum Accreditation, and Library Development, together with cultural property services such as Export Licensing and the Acceptance in Lieu scheme. The National Archives has assumed responsibility for providing strategic leadership to the archives sector and advising government on its development. The MLA is now winding down, with a skeleton staff remaining until May 2012 to complete the management of existing Renaissance contracts, complete outstanding financial and contractual arrangements and prepare for the appointment of a liquidator. This website will remain live until 31st March so that the public still has full access to the material on it – good practice case studies, toolkits, guidance and a range of other publications.  Continue reading
